Awesome to see the progress coming along! Would be so much better if you had a larger lot for your house to sit on. I luckily found a home that is 2,300 sqf sitting on a 33,400 sqf lot where 3 houses were previously. My two car garage serves as my woodworking shop and parking for the wife. The original owner who removed the other houses to make room for this house left a single car garage on the property which I put to use as storage and my welding shop. Only draw back to the large lot is mowing! Being retired gives me plenty of time to play and do my chores. About 5:30 I become the chef as my wife is still working. Life is good! As a RUclips junkie Your channel is listed in my top 5 for education and entertainment!
+Kim Shirley Thanks Kim! Mate l'm jealous of the size of your block!! Land is pretty pricey where we live being a very popular holiday destination on the beach. A block any bigger would be well out of our price range unfortunately. Beggers can't be choosers l suppose. Cheers mate :-)
I live in SW Oklahoma here in the US. Town has a population of a 7000+. Great small town living. We are about 8 1/2 hour drive from the Gulf of Mexico which is the nearest beach front property. My house and property was purchased at $125,000 to give you a cost comparison. A house on the gulf coast of Texas runs in the $300 to $500,000 range. Let me know when you have the house warming party! LOL!
Uncle Knackers comes through again. What a legend ! Did you hear the one about the one armed waiter ? He sure could take it, but he couldn't dish it out !
Awesome work with the renovations Shane, your doing a great job with the updates, thank you so much for taking the time to put the videos together to share with us.
+woodturningjohn I was so disappointed!! I finalised a previous video in iMovie and then deleted the events to that video. Unbeknowns to me l had my roof video in that event. Once an event is deleted it can't be retrieved!!!! Oh well….lesson learnt. Cheers mate
Hey Shane, wow its really moveing now . Looks great. As far as duffus goes ------- welcome to the club! We all have our turn on the dunce chair now and again. I wonder if your neighbors know how much more value your adding to their property by doing this project? Good job. Cuppa time!
Sorry mate I was with the brickies being a bricklayer myself. if it's any consolation what a fantastic job your are doing. the project is coming along nicely.👍
Brickies only stood a chance cause one of the chippies was busy at Royal Randwick. Or something. lol Great job as usual uncle Shano, those brickies must be laying over 800 a day!
+Albert Kelly LOL….pretty dodgy race call Albert! Yeah there was just over 1500 bricks in that wall and they were out there just afar lunch!! Didn't muck around. Cheers mate
Had it not been for the blending in the old roof to the new, you might have won, so don't feel bad. The race narration was cool. Will you be bricking only the one wall? The truss construction there doesn't leave you much room for open attic storage. Btw, like your little roof walkway.
+MRrwmac Thanks MRrwmaac. There's only one brick wall. I'm cladding all the rest with weatherboards and colorbond steel. You're right the trusses do take up a lot of valuable space. It's a bit of a shame. We still might do something down the track. Just have to wait and see how the budget holds up. Cheers mate
Hey Shane, it don't matter who won the race mate the real winner is YOU! your house gets built quicker.......WINNER!Mate that place looks absolutely huge, any way mate no need to come over now got me roof done, better get back to work as I'm now plaster boarding the ceilings, until the next video catcha later my colonial cousin................Tony.
+Woodworking Brewer That's a good way of looking at it Tony! Hope the roof went on OK mate. Judging by the fact that you're plastering the ceiling it must have gone well. Good stuff! Cheers mate
Nice, Uncle Knackers =) You are doing a great job =) Thanks again for bringing us along =) Sorry to hear about the deleting =( I know there is a lot of work put in to filming everything, and then to loose it all.. =( Fingers crossed it wont happen again=)
It happens to the best of us =) Remember to get some rest inbetween also! We dont want you to burn out for us! Building a house is A LOT of work itself, filming and editing the whole process also is an insane lot of work too.
Good stuff Knackers! Those brickies are made of something else, I tell ya. Looks like the trusses still went up alright! Are those raked eaves I see out the window? They certainly add a bit of class. Plus you save time and timber without all those eaves trimmers! So you're going with a tin roof I see, but you used wood battens? Is that the norm over east? Here we use 70mm steel battens, 25mm tek screws into the rafters to fix. Also, blending that old roof looked tough! Is it because the old roof was stick framed? I can't really tell from the video, but I imagine it was if it was an old roof. Keep it up cobba, it's looking flash so far :D
+Chris Versteegen G'day Chris. Thanks for watching mate. Yeah the old roof was a stick one and it was all over the shop!!. That was one of the reasons why blending in was so difficult. You just need one old rafter to be up or down and it throws your saddles out of alignment! It makes it even worse when you have multiple rafters being to high or to low. It is a tin roof and we use timber battens here being so close to the ocean as the metal battens will rust out. Have a good weekend mate. Cheers
NICE Shane, almost water tight. That sure will make you feel good. Looking forward to seeing the type of roof you are going to put on. Stay strong or have enough money to pay the "fellas" to do the work for you instead. Cheers
+Sebastopolmark Thanks Mark. We're putting on a tin roof which l hope will look good. I'm a bit of a fan of an iron roof so l'm really looking forward to it. Cheers mate
Mate awesome video, loved the racing call, Kenny Calendar eat your heart out... Bummer on losing the footage, I know the feeling. I need some tips on my settings though, for some reason your notifications have dropped off. I used to get your video notifications as soon as they were uploaded to RUclips, now I have to go looking?
+Our Build Thanks James. I was absolutely spewing when l accidentally deleted the footage. Lesson well learnt. Mate l have the same problem….l don't get any notifications at all……Maybe l should ask my teenage kids to check it out for me
My wife and I use "Dumas" which is derived from taking two words dropping the last letter on each and joining them together. Of course, the grand children now know what we really mean. :)
Looking great mate. Brickies win it this time. Question - here in WA every house I have seen being built has the roof cut and made on site. Not once have I seen pre made trusses stacked out front. Do you know why WA are different to east coast builders? Can any of your views explain the reason why? I have to say, building a roof from scratch (on site) is an art in itself. Ps. Hair is looking shaggy and great. Go feral mate.
my guess would be cost. They use trusses so they can use 2x4 lumber. On the west coast, especially Washington & Oregon lumber is cheaper so it doesn't pay to use trusses. here in Detroit, a lot of the lumber is marked Canada. so there is a whole lot of transport cost added in. I suspect the same for Australia.
+Marty Daley I asked my boss (roof chippy) the same thing the other day, and he reckons not many blokes over the Nullarbor know how to stick frame a roof. There's a lot of factories that pump out trusses over east and a trussed roof means greater flexibility when renovating, such as taking out any wall since none are load-bearing. Having said that, I think stick framing is stronger. Big LVLs, steels and toms can take a lot more weight. Also joists are nailed into hangars which means a stronger ceiling. With a truss roof you tend to crack the gyprock if you walk on the trusses I hear. Anyway, just my two bob. I'm a little biased since stick framing roofs is what I do haha.
Thanks for your reply Chris. Really appreciate you sharing that with me. Also for clarifying the technical name of stick framing a roof. I would imagine you must be quick on your degrees and measurement calculations to custom cut every length. Cheers.
No wonder the brickies did ya. They had a straight wall and you had all that engineering. Thats not a put down of brickies BTW. Shane, what is that line ..., oh yeah .... you gotta know when to hold 'em ... and so on. Better shorten the odds next time :-)
+Billkook Yeah Bill we contemplated using all that space but it became a budget issue and unfortunately ours is very tight and couldn't stretch to factor that in. Cheers mate

Hahahahahaha....not bad Brendan 😂
You Chippies did a great job👍 Brickies did have to struggle with 11mtr trusses. Roof was massive!
Craig...the trusses were huge mate! Great to see them go up 👍
Nice to get those trusses up. Looking good mate.

Looking good, Shane. I was thinking that you were going to show the tie in in the next video...sorry to hear it's gone.

Make sure you do it that way Billy...you'll thank me 👍

How long did it take to lay all of those bricks ?

+God of Thunder (UKKONEN) G'Day mate. Thanks for your reply. WA is Western Australia. Sorry for confusing you.

+shane elson Yeah l think l was a bit optimistic Shane. Oh well, at least it was good for motivation. Cheers mate
I don't mean to alarm you, but your steering wheel is on the wrong side of your car.
+God of Thunder (UKKONEN) What!!!!…I thought it felt a little odd :-)
Such a shame.. So much attic space could have been ceiling space
+Billkook Yeah Bill we contemplated using all that space but it became a budget issue and unfortunately ours is very tight and couldn't stretch to factor that in. Cheers mate
Shane you are a wolly , how may slabs did it coast you ? Mate never challenge a Bricky !
+debobba Mate….luckily no slabs changed hands :-) Yeah, l think l learnt my lesson :-( Cheers
Y'all do not believe in attic space, do you?
+Jeff Stanley Do't worry Jeff. The thought had crossed my mind but our budget just couldn't quite stretch enough. It was a shame..but oh well
